Alberta’s Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz is calling on Canadians to lobby their MPs to oppose the Liberal government’s electricity regulations, saying they’re “irresponsible and unaffordable.”

Ms. Schulz also said that federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s demands that Alberta’s electricity grid meet net zero targets for 2035 are unrealistic.
